Tax Map Parcel 03200 -00 -00 -04400 (the "Property ")
Dear Mr. Para:
Fax (434) 972 -4126
In response to your request for a Letter of Zoning Compliance for the above
referenced parcel I have examined our records with respect to the zoning status of
the Property owned by Route 29 LLC, situated at 396 Towncenter Lane in
Albemarle County, Virginia, on which parcel a Kohl's Department Store currently
operates. Please be advised of the following:
■ The parcel lies within the boundaries of Albemarle County and, as the Chief
of Zoning Administration and Deputy Zoning Administrator for the County I
am authorized to execute this letter.
■ The parcel is zoned Planned Development -Mixed Commercial (PD -MC) and
is located in the Entrance Corridor Overlay District (EC).
■ The most recent zoning map amendment (ZMA) approved for this Property
(ZMA201200005), amended the proffers of the ZMA that originally allowed
the parcel to be rezoned to PD -MC. This ZMA was approved December 1,
2013 with proffers. A copy of the approval letter with the approved proffers is
attached.
■ A discount department store is permitted by right within the PD -MC zoning
district classification.

■ The existing Kohl's Store is developed in accordance with an approved site
plan (SDP200800113) approved December 31, 2008.
In the event of casualty, the Project may be rebuilt substantially in its current
form, including no material loss of square footage, in the same footprint, upon
satisfaction of building code requirements.
The current use of the Property by its present owners is a permitted use
under the Zoning Ordinance without the necessity of any rezoning, special
exceptions, use permits, variances or other new approvals. We are not
aware of any other permit or license required by this jurisdiction that a
purchaser must obtain before it may acquire the Project (other than a new
zoning clearance for the owner name change) or before the Project may
continue to be used in the manner in which it is presently being used.
■ No application for rezoning of the Project, or for a special or conditional use
permit or variance in connection with the Project, is now pending. No
proceeding to challenge the zoning, or other governmental approval or use of
the Project is pending, or, to the best of our knowledge, overtly threatened.
■ Copies of site plans, erosion & sediment control plans and certificates of
occupancy can be obtained from this office with a request through the
department's Records Manager, Ester Grace, 434 - 296 -5832 ext. 3823.
To the best of my knowledge, the current uses and improvements are in
compliance with all other applicable rules and regulations of the zoning
ordinance, including parking requirements.
Please contact this office if you are in need of further assistance.
